After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 38 Will You Like Him?

She couldn't bear it; he had already lost his family and home, why couldn't she give him a little more time to live?

He probably hasn't found his enemies yet.

He suffered greatly protecting the people of the Dragon Kingdom, but in the end, his entire family died unjustly, and not a single murderer could be found.

Fang Lingchu suddenly remembered her older brother from her previous life. Her brother joined the army while in college and was assigned to the demolition team.

Later, my brother lost his life while defusing a bomb, and I was distracted because of that. When I woke up, I found myself here.

One reason why Fang Lingchu was so afraid of the eldest brother of the Fang family was that she was exactly the same as the eldest brother in her own world.

The system, unaware of Fang Lingchu's situation, said: "Then what excuse do you plan to use to give it to him? Judging from his life experience, he doesn't seem like someone who would easily believe what others give him."

Fang Lingchu shook off her distracting thoughts and said, "Isn't the young master of the Divine Doctor Valley by his side? We'll find out when we see him."

After saying that, Fang Lingchu got up and knocked on the door of Gu Wangyan's private room.

The people inside could hear Fang Lingchu's thoughts, so some of them were already waiting for her there.

Upon hearing the knock, someone immediately opened the door and respectfully greeted, "Greetings, Princess Ding'an."

Gu Wangyan's men knew that Fang Lingchu had come to rescue the young general, and they were extremely respectful to her.

Fang Lingchu was startled by the sudden bow.

[Guagua, what's that person doing standing at the door? They scared me to death!]

The system glanced at the person and said, "[Host, would you like to follow this person's story?]"

Fang Lingchu quickly tidied her appearance and walked in with a smile.

The system's internal response: "Is now the time to just watch the show? Let me finish what I'm doing first."

The system thought about it and agreed; the mission of transporting life was quite important.

Gu Wangyan looked at Fang Lingchu, who acted like she was a noble lady from a prestigious family.

I felt inexplicably amused; this girl seemed to have never changed.

Gu Wangyan looked at Fang Lingchu who was walking over and said, "Greetings, Princess Ding'an. Please forgive me, Your Highness, that I cannot rise to greet you."

Fang Lingchu smiled and said, "General Gu, there's no need for formalities. You are a great general who protects our country, while I am just a lowly official. You are a hero in the hearts of the people."

After Fang Lingchu finished speaking, Gu Wangyan felt a little strange.

But looking into Fang Lingchu's eyes, he felt that she really thought so.

Others: Are you sure that's a compliment and not sarcasm?

If Fang Lingchu knew what others were thinking, she would definitely cry foul; she truly admired him.

Gu Wangyan coughed to cover his embarrassment and said, "Your Highness is too kind. May I ask what brings you here?"

Fang Lingchu didn't expect Gu Wangyan to be so direct. Seeing the murderous aura emanating from him, Fang Lingchu chickened out.

He chuckled twice: "It's nothing, I just knew General Gu was here so I came over to say hello."

[Waaaaah, Guagua, I'm scared! His eyes are so terrifying, like he can see right through me.]

Gu Wangyan: What did he do?

Major General Gu Wangyan gave him a look that said, "You've scared the little princess. Tame your menacing aura."

Gu Wangyan: When did he ever yell at her? The system was also intimidated by Gu Wangyan's terrifying aura, but since it was already there, it still wanted to complete the task.

He comforted Fang Lingchu, saying, "Host, don't be afraid. You are a princess, and he is just a general. He can't do anything to you."

Fang Lingchu deeply regretted her impulsiveness; she had come without doing proper research.

[Guagua, what should I do? His eyes are terrifying, I'm too scared to speak.]

It wasn't that Fang Lingchu was timid, but rather that Gu Wangyan's aura was too powerful.

The system looked at Gu Wangyan, who remained expressionless, and said, "[He's just naturally averse to smiling. Don't be afraid, host. You're not afraid of the emperor, so why should you be afraid of him?]"

When Fang Ling first heard the system say that, she thought, "Oh, that makes sense."

She wasn't even afraid of the emperor, so why should she be afraid of Gu Wangyan? He couldn't do anything to her anyway.

"General Gu, I heard you were not in good health. I wonder how you are now?"

When Gu Wangyan heard what she and that melon were saying, he knew that she was a little afraid of him, so he deliberately restrained his demeanor.

Gu Wangyan stopped looking at Fang Lingchu and turned his attention to the performance on stage.

He replied, "The imperial physician has come to see me, but he can't figure out what's wrong. He just said that I won't be able to stand up again."

Fang Lingchu frowned and asked, "Guagua, didn't you say he was poisoned? Couldn't the imperial physicians find out?"

The system said: [Host, even imperial physicians have different specialties, you know. Some are good at medicine, some at poisons, some at internal medicine, and some at surgery. It's normal that you can't tell the difference.]

Fang Lingchu clicked her tongue in disdain and asked again, "Do you know what kind of poison he was given?"

The system said: [I know! The Hundred Flower Poison of Zhou, the Yadi Poison of Zhao, and the Natal Gu of the High Priest of Southern Xinjiang.]

Fang Lingchu: ...I have a million unpleasant things to say, but I don't know if I can say them.

Why are so many people trying to kill him?!

The people here were shocked to hear that Gu Wangyan had been poisoned so much.

They knew nothing about the rest except for the first one.

Thankfully, I didn't blindly try to detoxify, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The system continued: "It's a good thing he was poisoned so much, otherwise he would have died long ago."

Fang Lingchu asked, puzzled, "Why is being poisoned so much a good thing?"

The system explained: "These are all deadly poisons, and their toxicity varies. As you know, all poisons are composed of chemical substances. Some substances complement each other, thus counteracting each other, which is why they didn't kill the general."

Fang Lingchu suddenly realized and asked, "Can our antidote pill neutralize all poisons?"

The system proudly declared: "That's an antidote from the cultivation world, capable of curing all poisons, let alone the poisons of this world. Don't worry, one pill will take effect immediately."

Hearing the system say this, Fang Lingchu felt relieved.

She didn't want to end up losing both the person she saved and the money she had withdrawn.

Suddenly, the system asked: "[If this young general could stand up, he'd have a broad waist, long legs, eight-pack abs, and be even taller than the Crown Prince. Plus, he'd be fair-skinned, handsome, and with sharp features—a true heartthrob. Wouldn't you be tempted?]"

Gu Wangyan: Weren't we just talking about his poisoning?
Everyone: The change was too fast; they didn't have time to react.

Netizen #1: What was that gossip guy just saying?
Bystander #2: It seems like they're asking if he likes General Gu?
Bystander #1: Weren't they just talking about General Gu being poisoned?
Netizens: I don't know!
